Bennett woke up last night around midnight wanting a drink of water. So I went downstairs with him, which I usually don't. Our house was comletely dark and as I'm turning the kitchen light on, Bennett said, "Why's Jake down here?" I looked at the couch and see the back of someone's head. I about had a heart attack. In the dark, you can't tell who it is, so I called out, "Jake?" - no answer and no movement. I slowly come around the couch and sure enough, Jake's sitting there...in the dark...holding onto the remote (the TV wasn't on). I asked him what he was doing and he just looked at me. I knew he was sleep "walking" because he's totally afraid to come downstairs at night - especially in the dark without turning any lights on. I escorted him back to bed and he closed his eyes and I'm assuming stayed in bed the rest of the night. But talk about freaking me out. Seeing someone sitting on the couch...in the dark...in the middle of the night. Hopefully that was a one time thing. I'm getting older and I don't know how much my heart can take.Friday, February 19, 2010
Peaceful Night's Sleep?!

That would have freaked me out. Sometimes my girls come into our room and stand by my bed and just stare at me...gets me everytime!
Holy Cow! I would have had a heart attack! How long did it take you to get back to sleep?
Yicks! Make sure all the doors are locked and he can't get outside. That would scare me too!
Scary, but cute picture!
I hate hate hate hate hate being scared...especially in my own home!
I don't know which to comment on...the amazin hair or those full lips! Cute photo.
scary! Has he done it again? Or was it a one timer?
Rachael, it took me a long time to fall back asleep. I was pretty freaked!
He hasn't done it again and it actually had been awhile since I had noticed him sleep walking until that night.
And thanks for the compliments about my "pretty" boy! :) If you need a model to practice on Amy, you can use him. :)
